For implementation, always verify the required cookies in the
cookiesarray when preparing your account object for a run.

Account types with empty cookies arrays require all session cookies. Use browser dev tools to extract the full cookie set.

Pay attention to the params object for rate limits. Exceeding these limits may result in account suspension on the target platform.
Pro Tip
The batch and batch_hours parameters help you avoid triggering anti-bot measures by spacing out requests throughout the day.
